Frank Gardner began his racing and engineering career with an XK120, C-Type and D-Type. We publish a unique tribute to the legend with the help of his wife, and using the knowledge he shared with us nearly 15 years ago. For a man who entertained with his wicked sense of humour, Frank was very private so this feature is very rare and revealing.
Digby Cooke raced at Bathurst many times, and owns some very fine modern classics. However, in a conversation he was asked if he would like an XJ13 - or a replica at least? The result is a fabulous V12 powered car finished in bright red - built from from photographs and very basic plans.
Heinz Schendzlorz and his school friend Wal Nelowkin lived in outer Melbourne in the late 1960s and took hundreds of high quality photographs all over Australia and Europe - without anybody else knowing! Now they have shared them with us. Cars include the 1954 D-Type 'OKV1' which finished second at Le Mans,C-Types, S.S. Jaguar 100s, Lister Jaguars, XKs, E-Types - and Browns Lane in the midst of a bleak 1973/74 winter. They make a fascinating feature in 2010.
